Crysis DX9 and 10 WarCat Tweaks (3Dacc Exclusive)

[WarAnakin]

I spent the last few days trying to get Crysis running properly on my pc. I have an Intel E6600 at stock speed running on a GeForce 8800 GTS overclocked at 660mhz core and 962mhz memory. The game is barely playable. So i started tweaking it. The performance gain is above average and the quality too. Check out the following pictures :
Note, this pictures are on DX9. I'll also put DX10 pictures soon.
All the game settings are on High except for the water.

DX9 High


Note: Check the difference in terrain bump mapping and also how sharp the shadows are.

Okey so whats "Crysis DX9 and 10 WarCat Tweaks (3Dacc Exclusive)" about it when this is already wide spread all over the net (no pun intented here) just want to know what's exclusive about it?

[WarAnakin]

It's a 3Dacc exclusive release. This is not like the things you saw on the net. This is about making the game playable on both DX9 and 10.

your tweaks are really good and the game runs very good but i think the most significant boost we all get is when the new ati or nvidia card comes out but still thanks for making these tweaks and letting us all enjoy the game with better performance

Installation: Download and extract the file in your Crysis game directory. For example : E:\Games\Crysis Demo\Game\Config
Backup your original CVarGroups folder before extracting this one.


If you have questions or problems, just ask.



Important :
Instructions for DX9 users :
Make sure all your settings are on High. You should put the water on Low, since the water shader causes some trouble. Setting Post Processing on Medium will disable the blur effect but retain all the other effects such as sun rays and depth blur. Setting the Shadows on medium will make the shadows sharper. Setting shadows on high, will alise the shadows at the cost of some performance.

Instructions for DX10 users:
Make sure all your settings are on High, except the Water. Putting post processing and shadows on medium will have the same effect as for DX9 users(read the upper paragraph).
